Because Cisco IOS IP SLAs is SNMP-accessible, it can also be used by performance-monitoring applications like
CiscoWorks Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) and other third-party Cisco partner performance management
products. Using IP SLAs can provide these benefits:
Service-level agreement monitoring, measurement, and verification.
Network performance monitoring
—
Measures the jitter, latency, or packet loss in the network.
—
Provides continuous, reliable, and predictable measurements.
IP service network health assessment to verify that the existing QoS is sufficient for new IP services.
Edge-to-edge network availability monitoring for proactive verification and connectivity testing of network resources
(for example, shows the network availability of an NFS server used to store business critical data from a remote site).
Troubleshooting of network operation by providing consistent, reliable measurement that immediately identifies
problems and saves troubleshooting time.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) performance monitoring and network verification (if the switch supports
MPLS)
Cisco IOS IP SLAs to Measure Network Performance
You can use IP SLAs to monitor the performance between any area in the network—core, distribution, and edge—without
deploying a physical probe. It uses generated traffic to measure network performance between two networking devices.
shows how IP SLAs begins when the source device sends a generated packet to the destination
device. After the destination device receives the packet, depending on the type of IP SLAs operation, it responds with
time-stamp information for the source to make the calculation on performance metrics. An IP SLAs operation performs
a network measurement from the source device to a destination in the network using a specific protocol such as UDP.
